Richard Bochacev cancels graded homework: AI cheating is rampant, only offline exams are feasible

UC Berkeley professor Richard Bochacek canceled graded homework due to the rampant AI cheating and switched to in-person exams to assess students. He said he couldn't distinguish whether the homework was generated by AI and that the grading mechanism would incentivize students to use AI. The university considered AI detection software but found it unreliable and delegated policy-making authority to professors.
